Dr Rafeef Ziadah - The 'Logistics Revolution' & Economic Diversification in Regional Transformation

Centre for Gulf Studies (CGS) Virtual Seminar Series (19th March 2024) with guest speaker Dr Rafeef Ziadah _________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Development plans across the Gulf Cooperation Council emphasise logistical infrastructure as a driver of economic diversification. Investments in maritime ports, roads, rail, airports, and logistics cities are transforming the economic geography of the region. This paper aims to make visible this neglected aspect of the physical transformation of the Gulf - shifting the analysis to emergent maritime logistical infrastructure at a regional level. The paper will look specifically at the ways the ‘logistics revolution’ has impacted the Gulf region, exploring its intricate intersection with war, trade, and humanitarianism. While conventional narratives often focus on the corporate and state perspectives of this logistical landscape – this paper urges us to acknowledge the underside of logistics—the vulnerabilities inherent in just-in-time production models. These vulnerabilities open up space for disruption and contestation, with critical logistical nodes becoming also targets for protest and resistance. _________________________________________________________________________ Bio: Dr Rafeef Ziadah is a Senior Lecturer in Politics and Public Policy (Emerging Economies) at ‪@kingscollegelondon‬; her research focuses broadly on political economy, gender and race, with a particular focus on the Middle East and East Africa.
